Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni's Deposition Postponed to THIS Date Amid Ongoing Legal Battle, Here's Why
Because Wallace was dismissed without prejudice, the actress has the option to refile the lawsuit if she wishes to.
Blake Lively's deposition date in Justin Baldoni case postponed
As the decision about the postponement of the deposition was made public, a spokesperson for the Another Simple Favor star revealed to TMZ that Lively respects the court's decision to dismiss Wallace from the case.
Adding the reason behind the judge's ruling, the source revealed to the media portal that it "has nothing to do with the merits of her allegations about Mr. Wallace's role in the smear campaign and relates solely to the procedural question of whether he is subject to jurisdiction in New York or elsewhere.'
Lively's team went on to state further that they are evaluating "numerous options for holding Mr. Wallace accountable."
Meanwhile, ahead of the deposition in the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni case, the actress was granted a protective order. The judge ruled that the defendant relocate to the place decided by the mother of four.
In its statement, the court mentioned, "Lively is a plaintiff who has hurled serious allegations of misconduct against the Wayfarer Parties.'
They further added, "Like all defendants, the Wayfarer Parties are entitled to depose Lively to develop evidence crucial to their defense. They are also entitled to choose the location of the deposition, which they did."
However, Baldoni's lawyers accused the Age of Adaline actress of using her star power to control the deposition.
While the proceeding of the case will take place at the end of this month, the trial dates in the legal battle have been set for March 2026.

Sydney Sweeney faces backlash at Americana premiere over controversial American Eagle jeans ad: ‘It's racist'. Watch
With US President Donald Trump also weighing in, the controversy surrounding actor Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans ad has escalated further. As Trump extended his formal support to her, specifically after learning that she's reportedly a registered Republican, the matter has received an even brighter political colour. This has led critics to assert that the mention of 'good genes' in the ad was not innocent after all. Now, the discontent has poured onto the streets as well, with people expressing their disappointment at Sydney Sweeney upfront, beyond social media. Recently, the star actor faced public backlash when one person heckled her at the premiere of her upcoming film, Americana. In a video, shared by TMZ, which has since gone viral on social media, Sweeney can be seen arriving for the film's premiere donning a pale yellow outfit. As she stepped out of her car and walked towards the venue, a woman shouted, 'Stop the ad, that is being racist.' Sweeney, however, did not respond to the heckler and continued walking. Although the matter has become huge, opinions on social media are divided mainly. While some people expressed that the backlash against her was unwarranted and offered their support, others argued that Sweeney was not ready to take responsibility for the implications of her actions. Even as a section of the audience showered love on her, others speculated that the controversy was part of a deliberate strategy by her and her team to attract attention. Sydney Sweeney was heckled over the American Eagle 'jeans' ad when hitting up the premiere for her film 'Americana' — TMZ (@TMZ) August 4, 2025 For the unversed, the controversy erupted after clothing retailer American Eagle unveiled its new ad featuring Sweeney, wherein she was seen saying, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour. My genes/jeans are blue.' The tag line for the ad read, 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans'. This quickly attracted criticism as many felt the ad promoted ideals associated with whiteness. The phrase 'good genes' has a complicated history with direct ties to eugenics and white supremacist propaganda. After the ad gained traction, many criticised it and claimed that the wordplay was malicious, especially in the context of the Trump administration's ongoing crackdown on immigrants. Sweeney, however, has yet to address the controversy directly.
